Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scored another historic goal Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Ovechkin made a perfect redirection in front of the net for his 30th marker of the season, joining Wayne Gretzky and Mike Gartner as the only players to score at least 30 goals in each of their first 11 years in the league.
